veetment.
On Saturday Mr.. Carleton, treasurer of the
Tallapeosa Land, Mining and Manufacturing
company, was in this city making the final
arrangements regarding the coming excur-
sion referred to on the fourth page. Mr..
Carleton is of the well known firm of Will
liams 6 Carleton, wholesale druggists of
Hartford, whose preparation, Williams
Jamaica ginger, is known to every family in
the land, and his integrity and business
judgment has never been questioned. Mr..
Carleton came to Hartford in 1865 poor boy;
for sixteen years he has been associated with
the firm, the last seven years as partner.
Under his management the house has become
one of the best known in the land, and Mr..
Carleton is one of the solid men financially
of Hartford. That he has been willing to
invest several Thousand dollars in the Talla-
poosa company is sufficient evidence that it
is legitimate enterprise, and considering
this fact as well as the future possibilities,
the stock of the company will prove popular
investment. The company are particularly
anxious to have investors examine the prop
erty, and the excursion which is to start from
Hartford next Friday offers a pleasant trip
at a low price, even if those who participate
do not invest. The round trip tickets from
Hartford and return are $75, and can be pro-
cured from D. Carleton, Hartford, or F. T..
Lee, New Haven; the money must accom-
pany all orders for tickets.

Professor Fowler has declined the position

Saturday appointed committee consisting
of Judge Robertson and John Matthias to
wait upon him and ask his acceptance of the
position. Prof. Fowler was allowed week

his declination with an expression of sincere
thanks for the honor. His condition of &C

The Amphions have been invited to sing
by Bridgeport church, and will give a con-
cert at the Wooster Place Baptist church
shortly, where they sang recently. Later
they will sing the cantata 7'Holy City" at the

PASSED AWAY.

Death of Justice Metcalf of West
Ex-Justice George w. Metcaf died at his
residence in West Haven Saturday evening
after an illness Of six weeks, paralysis finally
ending his sufferings. Born in Batavia, New
York State, in 1917, Squire Metcalf removed
to West Haven in 1871, and during his resi-
dence there of forty-si years had grown up
in and been identified with the best interests
of the borough. He served over twenty years
as justice of the peace, and in all instances
the cases before him were disposed of in the
true spirit of justice and leniency. He taught
district school in West Haven for several sea-
sons in the early part of his residence in the
borough. The old school house is now
dwelling two or three doors from Thompson's
block and owned by Rev. Mr.. Reynolds, of
North Haven. Ten years ago Mrs. Mary Ann
Metcalf, his wife, died, since which time his
only sister, Miss Melissa Metcalf has presided
over the household. Two brothers also sur
vive him, who are residents of New York
State. Justice Metcalf was an honorary
member of Washington council, o. q. AM,
of this city. The remains will be inferred in
the family plot in Oak Grove cemetery, West
Haven, tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock.
